i found the dimensions for a dual 12" enclosure for my momo's but i was wanting to put them in single sealed boxes. i took those dimensions and played around with them and if i am correct i got about 0.93 ft^3 witch is about the same as the volume per sub on the site. but i know the momo's need at least 0.88 ft^3, so do you think that the extra space will effect them any?

    I think .88 cubic feet per woofer is the optimum size (plus displacement of the woofer) so .93 each would probably work well.

    If you were to drop them into an enclosure that is drastically bigger, the airspace inside the box wouldn't damp the excursion of the woofer enough. The subs would probably play lower, but at higher volumes the sub's suspension would lose control on the lowest notes.

    I don't think .11 difference would hurt anything in normal usage.
